Eid al-Fitr (EED uhl-FIT-ur)
"the festival of breaking the fast"
It is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period when Muslims fast, or go without food and drinks, during daylight. It is a time for deep reflection and to become more compassionate to those in need.
It's an important time for Muslims because they believe that during Ramadan the Qu'ran (the Islamic holy book) was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
